The Song I Didn't Write

[claire]

Well, I've never posted a song before but what the heck. Probably because I'm such a dingleberry when it comes to posting links! Feedback welcome Anyhow, this is a cowrite with Perry Smith. My lyrics, his melody and tracks. If this link doesn't work, I'll be reposting...THE SONG I DIDN'T WRITE(Claire Ulanoff/Perry Smith)I had a string of broken dreamsAnd a second hand guitarShe said she fell in love with meFor my restless poet's heartI used to play my songs for herWove my past in melodiesShe'd close her eyes, drift away and say"Wish you'd write a song for me"To me she'll always be... The race I didn't run, the fight I didn't fight I didn't follow through 'cause I was so afraid to try Should've found the words while she was in my life But she'll always be the song I didn't writeI thought if I gave everythingI might end up all aloneGuess my fears made a fool of me'Cause I'm here and now she's goneTo me she'll always be... (chorus) She didn't want a perfect man She only wanted me If I could do it all again I swear she wouldn't be… (chorus) I had a string of broken dreams And a second hand guitarhttp://www.taximusic.com/stream/179404/The Song I Didn't Write.mp3
